NVUSD presents 2025 California Dashboard data showing gains in ELA, math and graduation rate
Summary
District presenters said NVUSD improved on multiple California Dashboard indicators this year, with English language arts distance‑from‑standard up 10.5 points, math up 5.2 points, a 92.9% graduation rate and improvements in suspension and chronic absenteeism indicators.
Napa — Business services and instructional staff presented the district’s 2025 California School Dashboard results, linking measurable gains to targeted instructional strategies.
A district presenter explained the dashboard’s structure and indicators — academic performance (ELA, math, science), English learner progress (ELPI), college and career readiness, chronic absenteeism, graduation and suspensions — and described how the state’s 5‑by‑5 grids combine current performance with year‑to‑year change. The presenter reported that NVUSD’s average student distance from standard in English language arts improved by 10.5 points and math improved by 5.2 points compared with the prior year.
The presenter highlighted that the district’s graduation rate is 92.9%, above the typical state rate, and that the suspension rate decreased enough this year to move the district into the green performance band. Chronic absenteeism continued to improve after a large prior‑year decline.
Dr. Monica Reddy of Instructional Support Services described several district strategies credited with the gains: data dialogues with principals, coherent guaranteed and viable curriculum, expansion of LETRS (literacy) professional learning, targeted coaching, use of common assessments and the ‘‘writing revolution’’ sentence‑level work. She said targeted supports for English learners, including defined ELD blocks and additional classes for long‑term English learners, helped increase ELPI performance at several sites.
The presenters singled out site‑level successes: Napa Junction, ACMS, Silverado and ACHS all showed significant ELPI growth, and New Tech High improved its college and career indicator. Trustees praised the presentation for clearly linking strategies to results and noted the value of deep‑dive site visits and classroom observations in verifying progress.
What happens next: Instructional staff said they will continue data dialogues and report a midyear LCAP update with further details on programmatic adjustments.
